The two of them walked along the river and headed north.

Sparkling waves flickered sporadically on the surface of the river, and the wind on the riverside blew the robes and hunted.

"Senior brother, you also want to attend the dinner party of the Duan Mansion tonight, right?" Lu Yunzhou asked when he saw that there was no one around.

"Yes, why did you suddenly ask this?" Zhongsun Xuanhua was confused.

Lu Yunzhou recounted last night's discovery, and then asked, "How about it, will you participate in this operation?"

Zhongsun Xuanhua was already stunned when he heard this, and reacted when he heard this, and said angrily: "This is not nonsense! Of course I want to participate, I haven't asked them to report the revenge of hurting Senior Brother Min and Senior Brother Ma last time!"

Lu Yunzhou smiled slightly, and said the plan for the night, and Zhongsun Xuanhua nodded again and again when he heard it.

"This time it's our turn to be in the dark, they are in the light, these indiscriminate assassins, we must teach them a lesson tonight!" Zhongsun Xuanhua said excitedly.

Lu Yunzhou is not so optimistic, although this time he happened to break through the strongholds of No. 1 and Blood Yan in the northeast of the city, but the leader of Blood Yan is still nowhere to be found, not to mention that all the assassins in the other two strongholds of Blood Yan have been hidden, and if he wants to find them all again, I am afraid that it will not be so easy!

"But Senior Brother Qi, your luck is really against the sky, this number has been forced to pour night incense in order to avoid us, and you can still meet it by chance when you casually wander around in the middle of the night! I think if he knows the truth, he will definitely not be blind!" Zhongsun Xuanhua glanced at Lu Yunzhou with a strange gaze.

Lu Yunzhou smiled silently, I will tell you that I have the aura of the protagonist?

The two chatted as they walked, and soon saw a thatched hut appear in front of them.

Shanrou was practicing swords by the river in front of the thatched house, her posture was agile, the sword was like the wind, and when she returned to the sword, she saw Lu Yunzhou and Zhongsun Xuanhua walking together, and couldn't help but stop, a look of shame appeared on her face, her chest rose and fell violently, she glared at Lu Yunzhou fiercely, and with a "bang", she cleanly put the long sword back into the sheath and strode towards the two.

"Senior sister, the swordsmanship has improved again! Congratulations!" Zhongsun Xuanhua seemed to feel the murderous meaning on Shanrou's body, and hurriedly complimented him with a dry smile.

When Lu Yunzhou saw Shanrou coming menacingly, he panicked in his heart, and just wanted to find a place to hide.

Shanrou's face was like frost, she strode up to the two of them, didn't look at Lu Yunzhou, reached out and grabbed Zhongsun Xuanhua's wrist, pulled him and walked into the distance.

"Eh, junior sister, what are you pulling me for?" Zhongsun Xuanhua was involuntarily pulled forward, and was stunned for a moment, looking back at Lu Yunzhou, and then at Shanrou.

"Senior sister, what's wrong today?" Lu Yunzhou saw that Zhongsun Xuanhua turned around and whispered to him.

Lu Yunzhou knew that he was wrong, and a strong sense of regret swelled in his heart, and he looked at Shanrou's pretty back for a long time, smiled, and said, "I'll go to the master first!" and walked towards the thatched house.

Zhongsun Xuanhua didn't dare to stay outside alone to touch Shanrou's moldy head, and hurriedly stretched out his other hand to call for help to Lu Yunzhou, and said loudly: "Senior Brother Qi, don't leave me, I'll go too!"

Shanrou turned her head and glanced at Zhongsun Xuanhua as if threatening, her pretty face was blank, and she said coldly: "Don't go, you accompany me outside to practice swords!"

Zhongsun Xuanhua didn't dare to anger Shanrou, and hurriedly laughed: "Yes, yes, it's not easy for the little junior sister to practice the sword, of course the senior brother will accompany you!"

Lu Yunzhou smiled bitterly, gave Zhongsun Xuanhua a look of self-begging, walked to the thatched house, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.

Cao Qiudao's deep voice sounded from the room--

"Please come in!"

"Yes, Master!"

Lu Yunzhou pushed the door in, the furnishings in the house were very simple, only a bed and a table, because it was daytime, the light in the hut was quite bright, and the situation in the house was clear at a glance.

As soon as Lu Yunzhou walked into the house, he saw Cao Qiudao sitting cross-legged on the bed, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, his majestic body was as straight as a sword, although he was just sitting there, he had a momentum of looking down on all beings, and an aura as thick as a mountain, Cao Qiudao had a broken sword on his lap, it was a slashing sword!

Lu Yunzhou felt a little sorry in his heart, he knew that the sword was broken in two because of his arrival.

Seeing Cao Qiudao, Lu Yunzhou respectfully saluted and greeted the rare kendo master in this world.

"Qi Yu, are you willing to enter my door?" Cao Qiudao asked.

Lu Yunzhou hurriedly said: "The apprentice is naturally willing!"

Cao Qiudao nodded with satisfaction and said, "As a teacher, you don't pay attention to false etiquette, as long as you kowtow to me, you can be regarded as having performed the apprenticeship ceremony!"

"Yes, Master!"

Lu Yunzhou knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.

A teacher for one day, a father for life.

This head knocked, Lu Yunzhou was equivalent to recognizing a father, and Cao Qiudao was also equivalent to recognizing a son.

In this era, apprenticeship is very solemn!

Seeing Lu Yunzhou passing the apprenticeship and standing up again, Cao Qiudao's eyes also had a touch of kindness, and said: "From now on, you are my Cao Qiudao's closed disciple, you can sit up!"

Lu Yunzhou said respectfully: "Yes, Master!"

Lu Yunzhou sighed in his heart that Cao Qiudao was like a sword, he really didn't drag the mud and water at all, just after worshipping the teacher, did he have to teach the exercises immediately?

As soon as Lu Yunzhou sat cross-legged, he heard Cao Qiudao say--

"In addition to the swordsmanship, footwork and other external skills, there are two other internal skills, one is the method of refining the gods, the other is the method of refining the body, the method of refining the gods is the static work, and the method of refining the body is the kinetic work, so the teacher will pass on your method of refining the gods now!"

Lu Yunzhou knew in his heart that these two exercises should be the qi refining methods mentioned by Zhongsun Xuanhua yesterday!

Lu Yunzhou's heart moved, it was mentioned in the original book that Guan Zhongyi and Cao Qiudao were both born with divine power, and their strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, could it be because they had cultivated the exercises of refining the body?

There is also a spring festival sword competition, Cao Qiudao, Zhao Jianzhai, Guan Zhongxi, and Han Jian all have an aura like substance, which can affect the minds of everyone around them, could this be because they have practiced the practice of refining gods, right?

After all, Cao Qiudao and Zhao Jianzhai are brothers in the same sect, and the exercises they practice are the same, which is also normal!

Lu Yunzhou thought of this, so he asked.

When Cao Qiudao heard this, he nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, the way of the sword, it is necessary to be diligent in thinking, you think well, but it is not entirely correct!"

Cao Qiudao explained: "The method of refining the gods is called the 'Washing Heart Sutra', and the method of refining the body is called 'Forging the Body Technique', these are two exercises! After cultivating the Heart Washing Sutra, it will indeed naturally form a unique momentum......"

Lu Yunzhou was shocked in his heart, "Washing the Heart Sutra" is the name of the "Book of Changes" in later generations, because "The Book of Changes" has the sentence "The saint washes his heart with this", so it is called. But I don't know if there is any relationship between this "Heart Washing Sutra" and the "Book of Changes"?

I only heard Cao Qiudao continue: "And the 'Body Forging Technique' was obtained by myself, so your uncle has not cultivated it according to the sword! Guan Zhongyi is indeed gifted and born with divine power, but this is not because he has cultivated the exercises, but because he is born...... But it's a pity, the qualifications of Guan Zhongyi are extremely high, and they are indeed very suitable for cultivating the "Body Forging Technique", but it's just ...... He, like his junior brother, has too many mixed thoughts, and it is difficult to climb to the peak of kendo!"

Lu Yunzhou was stunned, he understood what Cao Qiudao meant, this person in charge of evil was indeed scheming, he didn't expect that this would greatly reduce his talent!

Cao Qiudao looked at Lu Yunzhou's gaze, and suddenly revealed a sense of expectation, and said in a deep voice: "These two exercises have one thing in common, that is, the requirements for qualifications are very high, and not all of them can succeed in cultivating! Among the apprentices I have accepted, only Dongshan and Ji'er have practiced the "Heart Washing Sutra", while only Dongshan has successfully cultivated the "Body Forging Technique"! Among the three apprentices of the junior disciple, according to my observation, only one person in charge of the evil has successfully cultivated the "Heart Washing Sutra"!"
